SEO Agency Recommendations
-
I'm looking for recommendations for SEO agencies for an e-commerce site in the cell phone accessories niche. The list of companies recommended by SEO Moz are out of our budget, as we are looking to stay under $3k/month.
Looking for an agency that will focus especially on link building efforts, as there has been minimal white-hat link building implemented for the site in the past. Many of the agencies we've talked to are relying entirely too much on easy wins like directory submissions and we are looking for an agency that will be able to garner us quality links as opposed to a huge amount of mediocre links.
Any recommendations for reasonably-priced, quality SEO agencies?
Thanks!

Hey Thomas!
Thanks for the response.
We have an in-house team that focuses on on-page optimization, but of course, any agency we bring in would be encouraged to aid us in on-page optimization efforts as well. Because our focus has primarily been on on-page tasks, we are looking for more assistance in off-page efforts.
Yes, I totally agree that quality content is truly the most white-hat method of link building but as we all know, it's incredibly time consuming. That's why we've been looking for an agency that can help in that particular effort. We've shopped around for content marketing agencies as well in the past but are leaning more towards a comprehensive and all-around solid SEO agency that can provide insight on both on and off-page improvements to our site.
Thanks for the recommendation! Will definitely look into it.

can I ask why are you focusing just on link building?
Have you thought of the most white hat way of link building which is link bait making truly awesome content that people want to link to. If you give me your domain I will go over a site audit for you and tell you what would be the best fit to get you the most authority for your site hence traffic than conversion rate. I can do Guest Blogging Link Audits, Infographics, Broken Link Building local links.
Your budget honestly could get you some dodgy SEO's I would feel free to contact me and if you want a off-the-cuff recommendation for your pricing.
Try evolving SEO they are very good.
I will look at your website and give you a yes or no if that makes sense.

I used to cell sell phones through my old site, ebay and Amazon. If you are looking for a link builder, get a link building strategy first. Pay someone a couple hundred dollars to help build that for you, then go shopping around.
Also, I recommend that your link builder use software like Buzzstream for outreach. You can find a couple of agencies in the top 30 users of SeoMoz. (disclaimer: I'm one of the agencies). Some focus only on link penalty removal, some on conversions, some on link building.

Link Building is always a tough one and all you need to do is to be creative. Look at your competition for your primary and secondary keywords and see what they are doing for links. Slow and steady build your domain profile.
The problem is, unfortunately, there are no short-cuts. And just one more piece of advice, don't overdo any one particular kinds of links. A mix and match of everything adds up to become a natural link profile. That's what you need to compete in the niche. It's also a steady on-going process. FYI.
I hope this helps.

What are other SEO's calling themselves now?
I am piggy backing off of Rand's latest Whiteboard Friday: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/why-we-cant-just-be-seos-anymore-whiteboard-friday (It is an awesome post if you haven't checked it out yet.) I just want to hear some feedback from other industry professionals. Have you started defining/communicating your business as more than just, I do SEO? If so, what are you calling yourselves now and why? How has that been working out for you?

Upcoming/Fall SEO Conferences (2012)
I have been attending Pubcon for almost a decade now. I have missed only 1 or 2 in the last 9 years. This year, I was considering to go to Mozcon and SMX Advanced, but the dates did not work out for me. Next year I am not missing either of these conferences. For this year, if I was to attend one of the following, which one do folks recommend (I would love to know the 1st hand experiences, comparisons): http://www.pubcon.com/

Is it smart to reveal your clients and projects in the Q&A forum? What about on your own SEO blog?
On one hand it seems like having my cake and eating it too: blogging about SEO using my clients as case studies in order to give them a couple backlinks. On the other hand it seems like asking for it from Google or from competitors. Got any advice? And what of mentioning actual domains and brand names when asking questions here in the forum? One one hand it seems like I'd get more specific advice, on the other hand, once again, it seems like it comes with some amount of risk. Any advice? Thanks!
